The 7th International Interaktionslabor takes place from July 20 to August 2 on the site of the former coal mine Göttelborn in southwest Germany. This year the main focus of the workshop is on perceptual processes. The project title -Halbinseln der Wahrnehmung/Peninsulae of Perception - is a reference to a diary written by a person afflicted with Asperger’s Syndrome. The diary has been proposed as research libretto for investigations into differing perceptual channels and psycho-social research on autism, synaesthesia, music composition and real-time performance. The acoustic-musical dimension of the 2009 laboratory is complemented by research into design or wearable audiophonics and acousmatic architectures and sound perceptions. The workshop brings together artists, scientists and researchers from different backgrounds committed to sharing their experiences and catalyzing multidisciplinary science-art collaborations. Special guests in residence at the summer lab are Stefan Scheib and Katharina Bihler from the Liquid Penguin Ensemble, an experimental music-theatre group that gained wide recognition through their award-winning radio music dramas. Their latest production, "Bout du Monde," has just been selected radio drama of the month (June 2009) by the German Academy of the Performing Arts. Previously, "GRAS WACHSEN HÖREN - das biolingua Institut wir 100 Jahre alt" was awarded the prize for best german radio drama and the ARD Online Award in 2008. Their music theatre performance "Eurydike hinter den Grenzen" (2007) was shown at festivals in Luxembourg, Düsseldorf, Saarbrücken and other venues. The laboratory is organized by theatre director and media artist Johannes Birringer who founded the Interaktionslabor in 2003 and currently holds a professorship in digital performance at Brunel University, London. "We have had many inquiries this year, as our subject combines research into media arts and psychology," Birringer says, "and the lab also has a continuing commitment to challenging our assumptions about space and perceptual constructions. We look forward to the participants from Latin America, Great Britain, France and Switzerland who will join artists and educators from the region." The lab ensemble plans to create a sonic installation in the 10KV, a former electric plant on the campus of the mine. The Interaktionslabor, which went on tour last summer to Belo Horizonte, Brasil, has become increasingly well known for its unique peripheral location, its independent, autonomous status, and the transcultural partnteships it has helped to build over the years.

PAF (=PerformingArtsForum)

PAF (=PerformingArtsForum) is a place for the professional and not-yet professional practitioners and activists in the field of performing arts, visual art, new media and internet, theory and cultural production, who seek to research and determine their own conditions of work. PAF is for people who can motorize their own artistic production and knowledge production not only responding to the opportunities given by the institutional market.Initiated and run by artists, theoreticians and practitioners themselves, PAF is a user-created, user-innovative informal institution. Neither a production-house and venue, nor a research-center, it is a platform for everyone who wants to expand possibilities and interests in his/her own working practice.PAF is- a forum for producing knowledge in critical exchange and ongoing discursive practice- a place for temporary autonomy and full concentration on work- a tool-machine where one can work on developing methods, tools and procedures, not necessarily driven toward a product- a place for experimenting with other than known modes of production and organization of work, e.g. open source productionMost importantly, PAF offers all these possibilities without imposing them. In other words, PAF depends on how you affect and are affected by taking an active part in shaping your own activity in your workplace.more info on: www.pa-f.net

Oh, I wish I would have known about this: Computational Creativity : An Interdisciplinary Approach http://www.dagstuhl.de/de/programm/kalender/semhp/?semnr=09291 This is what they wrote in the seminar website: ah, we can download the research papers in pdf!! very cool... 12.07.09 - 17.07.09, Seminar 09291 Margaret Boden (University of Sussex - Brighton, GB) Mark d'Inverno (University of London, GB) Jon McCormack (Monash University - Clayton, AU) Motivation Artistic creativity remains a mysterious, enigmatic subject — a “grand challenge” for Computer Science. While computers have exceeded the capabilities of humans in a number of limited domains (e.g. chess playing, music classification, theorem proofs, induction), human creativity generally remains unchallenged by machines and is considered a fundamental factor in our intellectual success. There is a sense that artistic creativity is somehow “special” in a way that could not be captured in an algorithm, hence implemented on a machine. This seminar aims to show that creativity is indeed special, but that it can be an emergent property of mechanical processes. The seminar will address problems in computational creative discovery where computer processes assist in enhancing human creativity or may autonomously exhibit creative behavior independently. The intention is to develop ways of working with computation that achieve creative possibilities unattainable from any existing software systems. These goals will be developed in the context of artistic creation (visual art and music composition), however the results may be applicable to many forms of creative discovery. The specific seminar aims are to: * Contribute to fundamental research on our understanding of artistic creativity in humans and machines; * Develop new methodologies for creative design in digital media, with particular emphasis on evolutionary ecosystem dynamics, where new algorithms for creative discovery are inspired by biological processes; * Bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds, with coverage across the arts and sciences, but with a common goal of furthering our understanding of how computers may generate creative behaviour, using an interdisciplinary approach. Creativity is a vast and complex topic, investigated by many disciplines. In broad terms it involves the generation of something novel and appropriate (i.e. unexpected, valuable). In this seminar we focus on artificially creative systems, either simulated in software or software process working in synergetic tandem with a human artist. The necessary conditions for any artificial creative system must be the ability to interact with its environment, learn, and self-organise, and this is the basis of the seminar’s approach. Darwinian evolution has been described as the only theory with the explanatory power for the design and function of living systems, accounting for the amazing diversity and astonishing complexity of life. Evolutionary synthesis is a process capable of generating unprecedented novelty, i.e. it is creative. It has been able to create things like prokaryotes, eukaryotes, higher multicellularity and language through a non-teleological process of replication and selection. We would like to investigate, on a metaphoric level, the mechanisms of biological evolution in order to develop new approaches to computational creativity.

23 - 24 November 2009Taking place over two days, the Super Human symposium will present an invigorating and inspiring mix of keynote speakers and collaborative research projects engaging with one or more of the symposium themes: Augmentation, Cognition and Nanoscale Interventions.Questions that the symposium will address include, but are not limited to:How do scientific and artistic bodies of knowledge intersect with human, social bodies?Does art serve simply as a representational tool for the sciences or is there more to the picture than that?Does research into bodies and their systems offer an insight into aesthetics, or is it confined to the purely functional?More: ANAT - Australian Network for Art & Technology
